DIY Members Medals [September] - Closed - Locked

You guys are familiar with medals I'm sure of it, but if you're new or you view the site with your eyes closed here's a description www.mywii.com.au/

What we are doing here is allowing members to create a medal of their own choosing and set it up just like an admin would. You'll also have your very own banner in the medals champs section showing off your work.



Here's how it will work, at the beginning of the month we'll start accepting your medal submissions, and the best submission will be run at the end of the month for every body to try and earn one just as if it were a medal run by an admin.
Don't think this is like some medal suggestion thread, it's more than that it's basically another way to contribute to the site similar to submitting news, reviews etc. You will be competing against everyone else you you'll have to put in the extra effort to make your medal stand out.

Use the template below and follow the instructions.

Here's the template you have to follow in order for your submission to be accepted. Everything written in bold will be your heading/sub headings and everything in italics will be instructions on what to put under each sub heading. Once you have set up your medal submission please post it in this thread here.


Main Heading
Give your medal a name. eg: "Mario Cube Medal"


After the main heading add a image of the medal. Make sure that your medal design is clear and is 50x50px in size(depending on design a slightly wider medal might be acceptable). Have no watermarks in your medal and make sure people can see what it is.

Quantity:
How many medals do you want to give out? "eg: Quantity: 40 Medals will be available." It's your call on how many medals you want to be available, 35 - 50 is an average number you can work with. Bare in mind the more medals available the easier it will seem to get so we suggest you don't have a 100 medals available.

Description/Introduction
Explain to the members what the medal is all about, hype it up and make it sound interesting. eg: "With the up and coming crop of new Mario games coming to the Wii I thought it would be fitting to have a Mario themed medal to suit."

How to get one:
In this part describe in detail what a member has to do to get this medal. eg: "To get this medal you will have to post your favourite screen shot of any Mario game in this thread. Your screen shot can be of any Mario game from any platform as long as it's a game that features Mario as a playable character."

Rules:
To keep things fair you are going to have to set up some basic ground rules, don't be too harsh or you may detour people from trying to get your medal. eg: "Please ensure that the screen shot you are about to post has not been posted already."

Additional Information:
Depending on how your medal is set up you may or may not need this sub heading. Bare in mind that some people are not familiar with how this site works so you have to point them in the right directions for things like embedding a Youtube video."

There you have it! that should be enough info to keep you out of trouble but if you have any questions please feel free ask me or any of the site admins, and we'll help you out the best we can. You don't have to follow that template to the letter but try your best.

Here's a quick check list to help you out.
 • Think of a medal idea.
 • Make your medal image to correct specs.
 • Use the above template to do your write up. We suggest you do this part in a word processing program so you can check for errors.
 • Post your submission in this thread.
 • Then wait for the admins to select a winner.


Rules and FAQs:
 • If you follow the template you should be fine. Just ensure your medal submission follows all site rules and you have not copied another persons work.
 • Yes you can use an animated medal but just like a still image medal it have to be the right size of 50x50px.
 • You can submit more than one medal in one month but remember it's quality not quantity that counts.
 • You can resubmit a medal idea that you used in the Medal Comp that was run some time ago.
Note: This section will be edited as questions come in.

That was a long time ago and this page www.mywii.com.au/ has replaced that medal guide, you can resubmit an idea that you used for that last one.

Yeah that's fine, it will be common for people to double up on a medal theme. As long as your submission differs from what is already posted (eg: different image and different task) then it all good
